Your new boat project, David? Are you keeping something from us? ;-)
Have just purchased plans for a Bernd Kohler Eco 6 catamaran and hopefully picking up a load of plywood in the next couple of weeks. This is not necessarily a replacement for Footprints, but more of a creative project for myself, and something at the opposite end of the spectrum of what Footprints is.
So, thinking about rig options, mast materials etc. The design is for a conventional sloop rig but it would be nice to go to some sort of junk, or alternative rig. There would be enough bury for a freestanding mast in the bridge deck. Or maybe a mast in each hull? Whatever I do I need to keep the weight to a minimum, and I want to retain the performance that the boat will be capable of.
